I have a similar system at home but I call it my wife.

I had one of those, long ago; but in her case, everything I said-- no matter what it was-- brought forth a bitter diatribe about sexism, racism, and the Oppressive Capitalist White Male Patriarchy.

That got real old, real quick.

 

Well that's the default response mode for everything else.

 

...it's clearly a earth like planet that is already inhabited by humans...

You should correct her. They are Grebulons. And it's not Pluto. It's Rupert.

Perfect. If you explain precisely who the Grebulons are, and what they are doing on Rupert, she will likely accept you explanation quite happily. You will need to do some research first.

 

She never takes my explanations happily. Default mode and what not prevents it you know.

Expecting a non confrontational reply from her is like expecting Hydrochloric Acid to play well with most anything organic.

I'd say insanity is the mother of creativity...

I'd say many of us spend a lot of time in our heads. It can get quite cozy in there -- and far more entertaining than the real world.

Edit: this is why I told my wife, "If there's even one neuron left firing in there, don't pull the plug. It is likely having a ball entertaining itself."
